Floral Scents in North Raleigh

Fallon's Florist is one of my favorites for buying fresh flowers for special occasions primarily due to it's location in the Quail Hollow Shopping Center. The building the shop is located in stands by itself and looks like a nice little branch bank on the outside. Inside the building is very much a working florist shop. You can smell the scent of fresh cut blooms whenever you enter the shop.

As part of the McCarthy Group, a chain of 13 floral shops in five states, this is one of three McCarthy group florist shops in the area. This access to the larger group allows offer services of a much larger shop. The local store offers services twenty four hours a day by phone or computer.

One enters this nice looking building from the parking lot side under the columns that adorn the fa�ade. The fragrant smell of fresh cut flowers greets you. You are surrounded by greenery and flowers in the florist's showroom. Immediately in front of you is the front desk that hosts not only the cashier, but also a wide work area for the florist. In addition to free standing displays of flowers and rolls of wrapping paper, there is a cooler flush with prepared flowers in vases in colorfu well designed bouquets.

The staff is friendly and helpful, whether you are trying to buy roses on Valentines Day, or you are planning a wedding.

As my wife discovered when she went shopping for flowers for our daughter's wedding, they can't always get specific flower types. Especially on short notice. When given sufficient notice, they can provide for most floral needs large and small.

The original Fallon's Store on St. Mary's has been in Raleigh for well over half a century. There are pictures of the original store as early as 1942 located in the library at North Carolina State University. This particular shop is much more recent. The building it is in may have started as branch bank.

The store is open seven days a week during their normal business hours.

The stores weekday hours are 7:30 - 7 PM, Sat. 10-4 PM, Sun. 12-4 PM
These may be extended around important holiday periods.

They take most major credit cards.
